Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of paprika.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the halibut fillets in the skillet, skin side down.
Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the fillets are golden brown and easily flake with a fork. Transfer the fillets to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon zest and drained artichoke hearts, and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve and dig in!

Notes

To achieve a beautifully seared halibut, make sure the skillet is properly preheated before adding the fillets. Use a thin spatula to carefully flip the halibut fillets to prevent them from sticking to the skillet. Serve the dish with your favorite roasted veggies (asparagus, brussels sprouts, broccoli) or a simple side salad for a well-rounded meal. Enjoy!

Chef’s tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing the halibut to ensure even cooking and a nice crust.
